Needs a lot of work Adequate is probably the best description as to the effectiveness of the Thrive app. It randomly can't find my hearing aids (despite them being next to the 'phone). Volume conrol sometimes only works on one ( but I can control both manually). Other ad hoc bizzare behaviour necessitating uninstalling the app, downloading again and re-setting. Usually works for a few weeks until something else goes wrong...then repeat process. App needs some serious work to bring it to an acceptable, functional level!

I was fit with Starkey hearing aids… I was fit with Starkey hearing aids last week and they sound amazing. The service was prompt and they were kind with m questions.

I got the livio 2400 hearing aids last… I got the livio 2400 hearing aids last october 2020. Have needed speaker replacement 4 times and the right one appears to be slowly dying again. After I get through the 3 year period I plan on getting a cheaper set as the new technology is becoming more prevelent in the market. The days of starkey and other price gouging companies are over - Thankfully! It's incredible how much I was charged for these pieces of garbage.

Bluetooth connectivity is spotty even… Bluetooth connectivity is spotty even with the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. No notification of messages or phone calls are announced in the hearing aids. Placing the phone in a pants pocket effectively disconnects the Bluetooth. Still can't connect them via Bluetooth to other devices, such as the 2022 Sony TV we just bought.

Center for Excellence is Excellent! My 90 year old mother got the celebrity treatment from Mr. Austin and the fantastic team in the Center for Excellence. Her new Genesis AI 24 RIC R devices are a great improvement over her old hearing aids and she loves them. Thank you, CFE, for being so helpful and kind.
